I do the same!

I also put the rest of the default stuff in a panel at the top. move the clock to the middle with a couple of spacers. Swap the application launcher for application dashboard. and now I’ve got gnome workflow but I don’t have to install extensions for basic stuff like the system tray.

I’ve been rocking it for a couple weeks now. So far it’s been great

We need Linux in the OR! STAT!

These days I’m more of a boomer shooter dude, but the trailer hooked me and I regret nothing. Haven’t tried the newest Postal yet. Played postal 2 back in the day. blood west is likely next up for me.

Devs like Hyperstrange and New Blood are killing it these days, in a time when the big devs are laying off entire teams. It’s amazing what happens when you have smaller devs who are focused on the games and not chasing number-go-up.

As New Blood says, “We love you. We hate money.”

Elderborn. In its own words, a METAL AF SLASHER. Kind of like a first person souls-like. rolled straight out of beating it into a new game+

He looks like he just dropped the punchline to a sick dad joke.

I will continue to recommend the Staples Hyken All Mesh Chair. My office uses them. My wife and I each have one after going through several budget chairs. It’s the best all-mesh budget chair that I have found.

“well tell me now laddybuck, are you feeling especially fortunate…? Eh Kirk my boy?”

That’s right, he was the bassist for them before they kicked him out for somehow doing even more drugs than they did. The song “motorhead,” was originally a hawkwind song. They are still going after all this time. They’re much more famous in the UK - “your dad’s hawkwind albums” is basically a punchline.

I’m more of a stoner metal/rock guy - too much noodling and I lose interest. But hawkwind’s albums up until the departure of Roger Calvert are classic.

They were a huge influence on Monster Magnet - they’ve covered two hawkwind songs and there’s a couple stolen licks here and there.

There is also a Hawkwind album based on this story. Now I wouldn’t say it’s great album but it’s a neat bit of trivia and a fun listen if you proggy space rock

I believe that that “cancel culture” is really just “consequence culture.” At one point users could hold powerful entities to account. The flattening of the public sphere twitter provided was a feature.

Absolutely there have been people who got targeted who did not deserve it - regular folks who posted a shit take that caught the mobs attention. But I think one of the motivations for Elon acquiring twitter and threads’ non-chronological feed is to clamp down on this kind of of organizing and centralize power.

As for hate speech, the problem that is that any solution at scale means AI and that reveals the biases of those who wrote it. These solutions can’t serve everyone.

And outrage fuels engagement - these companies are incentived to allow that.

So basically I think large networks can’t solve the problem. What’s needed is a decentralized approach with small interoperable communities vetting their members. Even if you get a hate filled instance it can be locked off so it can’t spread. Hate-motivated jerks have always existed, they just had no real access to the discourse until the internet. I really think the answer is the fediverse of tomorrow - if we make it that far.
